Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a spark protection device for lines provided with an insulating layer, in particular overhead lines, as specified in the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • a medium-high tension conductor system is easily susceptible to falling trees, loads of ice and snow and climatic surges.
  • OESI conductors for medium voltage ranges, eg 20 kV. These lines enable short phase intervals compared to open, non-insulated cables, and thus a higher energy density. Insulated cables also allow shorter distances to buildings, trees and the like. This leads to tighter cable networks and therefore also to more economical constructions.
  • Spark protection of overhead lines must be carried out where the breakage of a line can have serious consequences for the environment and the population, e.g. in residential areas, at intersections and the like. Furthermore, spark protection must be provided where overvoltages occur.
  • spark arresters are installed at one or both ends of a portion of each conductor that is stripped of insulation at a line attachment point.
  • the spark protection provides that the line is grounded at the critical end point of an electrical sparkover, so that the spark is directed to the spark protection device and does not appear on the conductor. Every time the insulation is removed from the conductor (during installation or contact connection work, temporary grounding, etc.), the transition point between the bare and the insulated wire must be provided with spark protection.
  • the size of the spark protection must be selected according to the short-circuit current of the power network (part of the mains power supply).
  • the hard and thick PEX insulation must be removed during the installation of conventional spark protection.
  • the insulation must be used when attaching the conductor, e.g. on the post insulator, be removed over a long distance. This must be done for all connections and crossing points, which is a difficult and time-consuming measure, especially in cold weather.
  • areas with severe corrosion damage e.g. Climatic conditions, such as in coastal areas, or as a result of industrial fumes, the removal of the insulation from the wire means that the conductor is exposed to increased corrosion.
  • a further insulated wire is provided as a lightning arrester, which is galvanically separated from the conductors to be connected to one another and has a bare conductor piece which has been stripped of its insulation and which is opposite a bare conductor section of the conductors to be connected which is also freed of its insulation, and thus a spark gap for discharge of sudden surges.
  • a lightning arrester device with spark gap for two-wire strands is known, such as are used for antenna feed lines.
  • Each wire of the strand is pressed against an insulating body by an electrically conductive clamping plate with piercing contact points.
  • the clamping plate is connected to earth via the spark gap in the lightning arrester device.
  • spark protection devices 1 show two spark protection devices, designated as a whole by 1, which are attached to a conductor to be protected which is coated with insulation. This conductor is fastened to a support insulator 20 with a binding wire, which in turn is held by a support arm 4.
  • the spark protection devices 1 are connected to one another by an aluminum lead wire 3.
  • Spark arrester horns 2 protrude obliquely downward from the conductor to be protected. For example, an electrical spark generated by a lightning-induced overvoltage discharges from the tip of the deflecting horn 2 to the support arm 4 or between the areas from the tip of one horn to the tip of the other horn. If the conductor only carries current in one direction, spark protection devices 1 are only required on that side of the post insulator 20 which is located downstream of the post insulator in the direction of the power supply.
  • a base part 5 and a cover part 6 are connected to one another by two clamping screws 15, both parts being pressed against one another by means of the screws.
  • the base part 5 is equipped with a jaw 7 and the cover part 6 with a counter jaw 8.
  • a conductor to be protected can be pressed between the jaws 7 and 8.
  • the jaw 7 and counter jaw 8 are equipped with teeth 9 and 10, the length of which is matched to the thickness of the insulation of the conductor to be protected .
  • the same result can also be achieved in that only one of the jaws is provided with teeth.
  • Bottom part 5 and cover part 6 are provided on the other, one side of the axial plane of the clamping screws 15 with jaws 11 and 12.
  • an intermediate jaw 13 is arranged, which is biased by means of a spring 14 against the jaw 11 of the bottom part 5.
  • a spark discharge horn 2 is arranged between the jaw 11 of the base part 5 and the intermediate jaw 13, this being brought into position and held in it without falling out, even if the clamping screws 15 are not tightened and the cover part 6 is in its uppermost position, as shown in Fig. 2.
  • a third pair of jaws is provided, between which a spark arrester wire 3 can be fixed.
  • the spark arrester horn 2 is kinked at 16 at an angle of approximately 45 °. This angle can vary in the range between 30 ° - 90 °.
  • the length of the deflection horn 2 after the bend 16 in the current direction is to be dimensioned such that short-circuit currents due to arcing due to overvoltage can be intercepted during the service life of the wire, the length being at least 80 mm, preferably at least 180 mm.
  • the spark arrester horn 2 can be provided with a large number of kinks. It is important that the point of the initial discharge can be controlled so that it is at the tip of the spark arrester horn 2, which is far enough from the spark protection itself and the conductor to be protected, so that the electrical sparkover does not damage the conductor.
  • the construction of the spark protection device with the spark arrester is to be dimensioned so that the occurrence of electrical sparks caused by ignition, lightning can be intercepted for the service life or lifespan of the wire.
  • a spark protection device can also be used for a temporary earth fault on a conductor, the spark arrester 2 serving as a connection to a ground electrode. So it is in this too If not necessary, laboriously remove the insulation to create a grounding point. There is also no risk of corrosion of the wire because the wire insulation has not been removed.
  • the grooves between the teeth 9 and 10 of the jaws 7 and 8 can be lubricated by using plenty of grease so that the moisture does not reach the conductor.
  • the spark protection device can also be accommodated in a separate protective housing.
  • a spark protection device simplifies the installation work and can be set up effortlessly and without expenditure.
  • the spark protection device provides protection against arcing over a conductor provided with hard PEX insulation, whereby the installation of this device can be carried out with normal tools.
